===== Pencils =====
HB is a scale for two different measurements for graphite.\\  
The H is for the hardness, and the B is for the softness.\\  
{{start:knowledge:personal:pencil_grades.jpg?400|}}\\
HB is your standard #2 pencil, falling within the middle of the scale.\\  
From there, hardness is to the left and softness is to the right.\\  
A 4B, for example, is softer than a B, but also darker in shade.\\ 
A 3H, on the other hand, is harder than a 2H, but also of a lighter shade.\\ 

===== Human Anatomy =====

==== Proportions of the Face ====
{{start:knowledge:personal:proportions_face.jpg?150|}}
  - The eyes are halfway down the head.
  - The space between the eyes is approximately the width of an eye.
  - The head is about five eyes wide.
  - The nose starts from the eyes and ends halfway down between the eyes and the bottom of the face.
  - The edges of the nostrils line up with the tear ducts of the eyes.
  - The mouth is just a bit above halfway between the mouth and the bottom of the face.
  - The corners of the mouth line up with the pupils of the eyes.
  - The ears start from the centerline of the eyes and go down until the bottom of the nose.

==== The head & face in perspective ====
A good way to draw any type of head in perspective is the Loomis method.\\
